Follow this link to my BLOCKBUSTER STORY of how Brett Kimberlin, a convicted terrorist and perjurer, attempted to frame me for a crime, and then got me arrested for blogging when I exposed that misconduct to the world. That sounds like an incredible claim, but I provide primary documents and video evidence proving that he did this. And if you are moved by this story to provide a little help to myself and other victims of Mr. Kimberlin’s intimidation, such as Robert Stacy McCain, you can donate at the PayPal buttons on the right. And I thank everyone who has done so, and will do so.

I try to do a
tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. every year. Any long-time reader will recognize I have
deep respect for the man. I have half-jokingly
called him “our American saint”—it’s only half a joke because it is so true. And you know there is this whole thing:

If MLK had
never existed I might not have been able to marry my lovely wife. How do you
even begin to thank a man for that? #MLKDay

But truly I
felt a great deal of respect for the man and even gratitude well before
that. Being disabled, I do belong to a
group that tends to face discrimination and I personally have faced
discrimination because of my disabilities.
I dropped out of high school because of that discrimination and only
after Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act was I able to get a
GED, go to college and eventually become a lawyer. Where would the movement to give greater
equality to the disabled people be if racial discrimination was still
considered acceptable?

“Now
I say that those dominions which, when acquired, are added to an ancient state
by him who acquires them, are either of the same country and language, or they
are not. When they are, it is easier to hold them, especially when they have
not been accustomed to self-government; and to hold them securely it is enough to have destroyed the family of
the prince who was ruling them[.]”

So we have a
scandal brewing for probable 2016 presidential candidate Chris Christie where
it seems that some of his staff appeared to close a huge chunk of the George
Washington Bridge about two months before the last election, to get back at a
local mayor who didn’t endorse Christie.
You can read a sample article about it here,
as well as some of the damning emails, here. But we are still at the “what did he know and
when did he know it?” stage of the scandal.
I don’t believe anyone has actually proven Christie knew of this, let
alone ordered it.

This is the latest post in what I half-jokingly
call The Kimberlin Saga®. If you are new to the story, that’s okay! Not
everyone reads my blog. The short
version is that Kimberlin has been harassing me for over a year, his worst
conduct being when he attempted to frame me for a crime. I recognize that this might sound like an
incredible claim, but I provide video and documentary evidence of that fact; in
other words, you don’t have to believe my word.
You only have to believe your eyes.
So, if you are new to the story, go to this page and you’ll be able to catch up on what has been happening.

As regular
followers of Hogewash learned yesterday,
my emergency motion to reconsider the extension of time given to Brett was
denied. There’s isn’t a lot I can say
about it that I didn’t say in John’s comments, so I will reprint it (with minor
edits I am not going to mark):

I
didn’t say this earlier for obvious reasons, but I knew it was a long shot when
I filed it, and I told John the same. The deadline had already passed for John
and was about to pass for me. It was possible for the judge to get really mad
at Brett and say he loses the chance to oppose our motions to dismiss, but one
can never count on that. And if the judge chose to shorten it, it would create
its own problems.

My
suspicion always was that the judge just didn’t want to hear one MTD after
another, after another. That is why he gave Brett his “homework assignment.”
Because he expects to get motions to dismiss from every single defendant, and
doesn’t want to consider them one at a time and is worried that Brett is not
doing what he has to in terms of service of process.

So
I knew it was likely to be a “defeat in victory” for Brett. I got what I
frankly expected to be the most likely outcome, which still has value. The
judge is now hearing from us that Brett jacked around with service and my sense
of it is the judge believed us. So Brett won the round, but he is bleeding in
front of the judge and the judge has even more evidence that Brett is not
acting in good faith. And this was after
the judge gave him a homework assignment that suggested the judge doubted Brett
was doing his job in terms of service.

She goes on,
either not getting it or pretending not to when she was shown to be wrong and
indeed racist.

This is
identity politics, folks, and it’s getting more and more common on the left,
the tendency to define your political position according to one’s religion,
race, social background and so on. And really,
it is bigotry with a smiley face on it.
And as much as it presents itself as warm and friendly, underneath it
all is bigotry and hatred: you just have to have the right event to trigger it.

Of course, one
famous example of identity politics was when this statement emerged from Sonia
Sotomayor when she was seeking nomination to the United States Supreme
Court. This
is what she said:

So tonight we
sit in our houses shivering in record, I recall the fun I had over the last few
months with a hapless scientist named Chris Turney. Mr. Turney describes himself on his own website as follows: “I am an
Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow and Professor of Climate Change at
the University of University of New South Wales.” Their idea was to retrace the expedition of Australian
explorer Douglas Mawson, so they could show how much Global Warming has changed
the environment down there.

And by now,
you might know about the comedy of errors that ensued. First, their expedition was trapped in the
ice. You know, the ice that was supposed
to have melted. Then they sent ice
breaker after ice breaker to rescue them, three in all, and they got stuck in
the ice. At one point the plan became to
land a helicopter on the ice that they were stuck, at which time I found Mr.
Turney on Twitter, and, I admit, had waaaay too much fun with him:

So, former Secretary
of Defense Robert Gates has written a memoir and Bob Woodward has written an
article pulling some interesting quotes and comparing it to his own knowledge
of events. And there is a great deal
that is interesting, but I want to focus on one passage.

Let’s start
with principles, folks. There is a
delicate balance that must be struck, dear reader, when dealing with war. It is not that all opposition is wrong, but
that it must be a loyal opposition. So, when you accuse our troops or our
leadership of doing something wrong or illegal in a war, during that war, you
need to be careful that you actually have the proof (which is one of the things
that offended me about John Kerry—that his accusations against our soldiers in
the field was often based on fraudulent testimony from his so-called Winter
Soldiers). And any criticism of policy
and/or strategy in a war, during a war, should be based on good faith, and not
based on politics. In other words, you
only oppose a military action or policy because you think it is genuinely a bad
idea, and not because your constituents demand it or you see any other
political advantage in it.

Is that all
reasonable? Is that something you, dear
reader, and I can agree upon?
